Mark 14:3-9
21st Century King James Version
3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard, very precious; and she broke the box and poured it on His head.
4 And there were some who were indignant within themselves and said, “Why was this ointment wasted?
5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor.” And they murmured against her.
6 And Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why trouble ye her? She hath wrought a good work on Me.
7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will, ye may do them good; but Me ye have not always.
8 She hath done what she could; she hath come beforehand to anoint My body for burial.
9 Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
